Yes folks, it’s the end of an era. Rob, the proprietor of The Guitar Bar, Speech Therapy’s faithful patron, is moving on – and we will need to find a new venue. Which means that this Thursday’s Speech Therapy is the final one at Guitar Bar….

What a great five years it’s been! The night having been set up by our founder Mulletproof Poet (praise be upon him) back in 2011 – and consequently hosted by myself, and John Marriott, and the great stout troopers who’ve filled in when I’ve been unable to.

I really hope that every one who has enjoyed a night of Speech Therapy down at Bar Deux can make it this Thursday as we give the venue a right rollicking S.T. send off!

We are going to kick off the night at 8pm with something a little bit different – we have the premiere of a short piece of theatre by Face The Music And Dance, called ‘Gone Fishing.’ Check the details here
